If you asked me today, what’s one “basic” that you’d say is not just important but literally is life transforming...I’d say this: knowing God’s love. Yes, it’s likely that you’ve heard about God’s love already, maybe a dozen times, maybe a hundred times. But, don’t shift your mind into neutral here...I’m connecting with you on this subject because I want you to know -- there’s MORE! There’s more to it than you already know, there’s more to God’s love than what you’ve already experienced.

Why should we care about experiencing what that “more” is? Check out this verse:“Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you” (Psalm 63:3 NKJV). In the Message translation, this verse reads: “In Your generous love, I am really living at last!" Wow -- I love that verse! Doesn’t it draw you in to wonder...what kind of love is this? I mean, a love that’s better than life itself? Think about the best day you’ve ever had, or the very best vacation, best gift, best conversation, relationship, meal...all of it. It’s BETTER than that!

This is not just a great theory, this love is real! But we can’t just try to understand it with our intellect. The shortcoming with that approach is we automatically filter our perception of a topic, God’s love in this case, through our human lenses. We know what love feels like through our life’s experiences on this earth, but God’s love is not confined to what human love is like. Rather, it’s SO much more! We need to tune into His love from our heart -- from our spirit inside -- to truly grow in our experience and understanding of God’s love.

We can see that God’s love has so much more to it than earthly love through 1 John 3:1, which says: “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!...” In the time when that was written, the phrase “what manner of” was trying to express something to the effect of, “Where could this be from? How could this be?” And “behold” is like “take notice!” They were saying all of this because the love they were experiencing from God was unlike anything else they’d ever known. Spoiler alert...God’s love isn’t from around here, y’all! God is the author of love, in fact He IS love and His love towards us surpasses all human boundaries.

>>So, let’s be passionate about getting to know God’s love to a greater degree, every day of our lives!

Getting stirred up about God’s love is super important because it is that very foundation in your life that helps you to love others and love yourself. When you truly connect your spirit to Him and let His love flow to you and through you, you’ll experience (and agree!) that God’s love is better than even life itself!

Say This: “Father, wow! Your love is better than life itself, better than my best day, my best experience, all of it. Lord, I deeply desire to understand and experience Your love to a greater and greater degree, every day of my life. Today, I choose to believe that You lavish Your love upon me, and I’m connecting my heart to Yours so that Your love can flow to me and through me. Help me to experience Your limitless lovingkindness in all areas of my life! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
